Harry Reid Silver State Research Award

The prestigious Harry Reid Silver State Research Award was created in 2001 to honor longtime Nevada Senator Harry Reid and to recognize faculty who have performed research that is both highly regarded and responsive to the needs of the community and state. The award carries a $10,000 stipend.

Directly and positively affects the economic growth and development of Nevada;

Addresses a pressing social need in the community and/or region;

This award is presented by the President at the annual Faculty Recognition Ceremony held in the Spring.
